First things first…your RoboCopy command is incorrect. Please open a Command Prompt window, type %SystemRoot%\System32\Robocopy.exe /? and press the [ENTER] key to find out its basic syntax.

Code: Select all

ROBOCOPY source destination [file]

robocopy "E:\CTI\" "%AppData%\Microsoft\Signatures"

Here I have modified it for clarity I was just wondering how to make E: as generic not all PC say your USB is E: right how to make it detected by the computer as any drive letter that is available but still could also deploy the script?

I have tried %% and a lot of combinations do not work or I still just don't get the right combination any assistance will be much appreciated

I know what you're trying to do, but until you have the basic code correct, I'm not going to add more to it.

You have now submitted a modified RoboCopy command line, which is still invalid/incorrect.

The source and destination should not end with trailing backward slashes. In your case above you need to use "E:\CTI", because the trailing backward slash in "E:\CTI\" is escaping the adjacent doublequote.

If your system has access to WMIC, you can define the USB drive letter as a variable rather easily like this:

Code: Select all

for /f "skip=2 tokens=2 delims=," %%g in ('%__APPDIR__%wbem\WMIC.exe logicaldisk where "drivetype=2" get DeviceID 2^>nul /format:csv') do set "usbDrive=%%g"

Subsequently, you can use 'if defined usbDrive' to perform some action on that drive, like:

Code: Select all

if defined usbDrive (cd /d %usbDrive%) else (echo There is no attached USB Drive.)

Thanks for this I used the first one the second what do you mean by define USB drive thing? But I have already make a walk around for it thank you so much pal

if defined usbDrive means that there is a variable called usbDrive that has some value. It's effectively the same code as if not "%usbDrive%"=="" but with less typing.
